Woods Tour With Dungen

Also Kurt Vile

Bearded-up Brooklyn lo-fi heroes Woods may inhabit crusty warehouse venues and sing into crappy mics onstage, but when you see them live, you see them without the tape hiss that invariably fills their records (like the recently BNMed Songs of Shame) and dominates conversations about the band. When the band is standing right in front of you, you can hear the band's songs for the languid, summery classic-rock jams they are. Check this Pitchfork Live video for evidence.

Or, better yet, go see them for yourselves. This summer, the band will tour all over North America, opening shows for Swedish psych-rock revivalists Dungen. On the tour's last leg, Woods' fellow lo-fi Neil Young disciple Kurt Vile will join up. Dates below.
